lifeson90 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) Depends how you define a bad album really, does it have one bad track or two or three or is the whole thing rubbish. If the whole thing has to be rubbish then certainly yes, they've never made a bad album If three bad tracks the standard, then suppose clockwork angels would fit bill for me but tbh i can't call it a bad album as so much great rush on it too Edited May 16, 2017 by lifeson90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket ignites Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I enjoy all Rush albums on some level... There's no completely "bad" Rush album, imo. Completely bad production...yes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordgalaxy Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Some songs on some albums aren't good, but imo, there are no all bad albums, at least as far as studio ones. Live ones are a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosher Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) I don't think Vapor is very good, and the debut was their weakest and not something I'd ever have sought out, but none of those are 'bad' albums.

JohnnyBlaze Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 How are you guys are defining "bad album"? You don't like every song? You don't like more than 50%? 70%? 90%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you don't like the majority of songs. Some TRFers in here don't seem to be following that line of thought. And that's fine of course.I'm just interested in reading the different ways people are thinking of "bad album". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I define it as: If the percentage of music I love on an album is 20% or less, then it is a bad album. There is nothing to speak of that I really like off of Feedback so that would be 0%The only song I love off the debut is Working Man so that is 17.5% (7 minutes out of 40)I really like Lakeside Park & Bastille Day off Caress Of Steel and that is exactly 20% (9 minutes out of 45) Hemispheres is really, really close since I only like The Trees & Circumstances which end up being 22% of the album, but I feel like the 20% rule is fair. I call Hemispheres a sub par album, rather than outright bad. I think it makes a hell of a single though, with Circumstances on Side A and The Trees on Side B!

prolix Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 RTB and Counterparts may be my least favorite Rush albums but I still think they are good albums. So for me, Rush never made a bad album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I use that model then I'll have to bust out with the calculator because there'll be a few borderline albums. Post HYF, there are plenty of songs I LIKE but don't LOVE. And then there are some that I think are just OKAY. 21st century Rush consists of a lot of OKAY & LIKE but to say those albums are BAD doesn't seem justifiable.

EagleMoon Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 If I only like two songs out of an entire albums worth, and the rest I don't like, I'd say that album is crap. Like Presto and Vapor Trails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
